In Genshin Impact: I accidentally ruined the Seven Gods

During the examination, Shiraki also discovered the reason why Xiao fainted.

Just as Bai Mu was clearing away his karmic obstacles, the obstacles broke free from the shackles of his faith due to excessive stimulation, leaving Bai Mu with no choice but to use the power of creation to suppress them.

However, a new problem arose. After suppressing his karmic obstacles, Bai Mu was no longer able to concentrate on clearing them.

Ultimately, it's because Bai Mu's current "authority" is not yet complete, and the divine power it generates is not strong enough.

If his divine power is strong enough, he won't need to worry about suppressing or clearing away karmic obstacles. He can simply use his divine power to instantly remove them, just like how Shiroki instantly killed the Blazing Tree.

However, his current "authority" is still in its infancy, and the divine power it generates is not that strong. It seems that dealing with karmic obstacles can only be abandoned for now.

After Xiao awoke, Shiraki told Xiao about the incident and expressed his regret.

But Xiao had no regrets. This was the first time he had truly cleared away the karmic obstacles in his body since being infected with them, and even a trace of them gave him hope, real hope.

Shiraki breathed a sigh of relief as he looked at Xiao, who was now full of hope for life. He had genuinely worried that Xiao would be disappointed by the contrast between the past and the present. But it seemed that things had turned out well.

"Thank you for healing me, Your Majesty. I will never forget it. I will be at your service if you ever need my help." Xiao bowed very solemnly to Shiroki.

Bai Mu readily accepted Xiao's gift. He knew that Xiao wouldn't feel at ease if he didn't acknowledge the favor.

Bai Mu then thought he might as well help the person to the end, since he had already achieved his goal for today.

He realized that he could clear his karmic obstacles, but because his "authority" was only in its nascent stage, he could not completely clear them. However, this was of great help to him in his journey to Mount Sumeru.

Bai Mu conjured a crystal made entirely of the power of creation in his hand. Then, as he handed the crystal to Xiao, he said, "I have sealed the karmic obstacles in your body. From now on, if you wear this crystal of divine power that I gave you, no new karmic obstacles will arise."

The function of this crystal is simple: to use divine power to erase the wearer's newly formed karmic obstacles.

Xiao accepted the divine power crystal from Bai Mu's hand, his heart filled with emotion, and he didn't know what to say to Bai Mu.

In all his years of life, it seemed that only Zhongli cared for him like an elder. Everyone else was an immortal like him, and Xiao's feelings towards them were mostly those of good colleagues.

He felt the love and care from Bai Mu today, which left him feeling unsettled for a long time.

"Thank you." This time, Xiao had changed his address to Bai Mu from "Your Majesty" to "you" (formal). Because in his heart, he had placed Bai Mu in a position similar to Zhong Li.

“Once I’ve perfected my ‘Authority,’ I’ll help you clear away the karmic obstacles in your body. You should leave now,” Bai Mu said to Xiao.

Xiao bowed deeply to Shiraki before turning and leaving.

Before Xiao's figure disappeared, Shiraki suddenly called out to him again.

"By the way, I now live in Liyue Harbor. You can come to Liyue Harbor often in the future so I can check the karmic obstacles in your body."

Hearing Bai Mu's words, Xiao hesitated. He didn't really want to go to Liyue Harbor. There were too many people there, and because of his karmic burdens, he wasn't good at communicating with people, which made him uncomfortable going to such bustling places.

Bai Mu noticed Xiao's hesitation and added at the end, "This is also Zhong Li's idea."

When Xiao heard that Zhongli also wanted him to go to Liyue Harbor more often, he had no choice but to agree.

After Xiao agreed, Shiraki let him leave, as he was also heading to the Blazing Tree. Treating Xiao had taken up two days of his time, but the result was still quite good.

The reason he treated Xiao's karmic obstacles was not only to test the strength of his "authority," but also because of Zhongli.

Since arriving in this world, Bai Mu has received a great deal of help from Zhong Li, a fact that cannot be denied. Today, Bai Mu helped Zhong Li's "child," which can be considered as repaying some of that kindness.

Moreover, and most importantly, Zhongli's Divine Heart is still within him. Compared to the Divine Heart, helping Xiao clear his karmic obstacles seems insignificant.

Thinking of this, Bai Mu couldn't help but touch the Heart of God in his pocket. He figured that even if he used the Heart of God for some more experiments, Zhong Li wouldn't have the nerve to ask for it back, right?

……

the other side.

At this moment, Keqing was almost at the vicinity of the Blazing Tree.

The soldiers leading the way kept watch over their surroundings while exchanging hushed conversations.

Soldier A: "Could that lord from before be an immortal? He wiped out so many demons with just one move."

Soldier B: "Exactly! I also feel that sir is a powerful immortal?"

Soldier C: "You two blockheads! When you were kids, your teacher taught you manners, but you insisted on stealing chickens. Didn't you see that Immortal Xiao bowing to that lord?"

Soldier C: "In my opinion, that person must be the Emperor. Only the Emperor would make Xiao Shangxian bow like that."

Upon hearing what his two colleagues said, Soldier C was worried about their lack of knowledge.

Upon hearing Soldier C's words, Soldier A immediately retorted with dissatisfaction:

“We see the Emperor every year at the Immortal Invitation Ceremony. If that person is really the Emperor, wouldn’t we recognize him? And would the Emperor waste so much time traveling with us?”

Soldier B immediately chimed in, "Yes, yes, Brother A is right."

Soldier C, who had discovered the flaw in the plan, remained silent. Just then, a soldier named D behind them spoke hesitantly:

"Actually, I was just saying, is there a possibility that that gentleman is the one from Qingce Manor?"

Upon hearing this, soldiers A, B, and C all turned to soldier D, eager to hear what he had to say next.

Soldier Ding, noticing their gazes, said, "My grandfather is now retired in Qingce Village. When I visited him before, he told me about that deity."

After a pause, soldier Ding continued, "That deity is on the same level as the Emperor, but he has never left Qingce Manor, which has led us to mistakenly believe that he is the Emperor's subordinate."

Upon hearing Soldier Ding's explanation, Soldiers A, B, and C all nodded in agreement. Only this explanation could explain why Xiao bowed to the white wood.

But at this moment, the soldier A who had previously identified Bai Mu as Zhong Li suddenly asked the soldier B beside him with some fear, "I've heard that some gods are rather petty. Today I actually called that Your Majesty the Emperor. Won't he be angry...?"

Before Soldier A could finish speaking, the previously clear sky above him suddenly became overcast. In an instant, a torrential downpour fell on his head, startling the soldiers B, C, and D beside him.
